A potpourri of photography and words about Nature, social issues, and anything else that crosses my path during the day.

Drama in the Sky

[Originally published on Gather.com, June 1, 2008]

Our day started out very foggy today, but by noon the fog had burned off. But the fog didn't exactly go away; instead it piled up in the sky to the north of us, giving a dramatic cloudscape for the afternoon. I first noticed the dramatic sky walking on my "country lane" route up on Beacon Hill Rd., where I took the first two shots. I kept going until I came to King Park on the southern end of Newport Harbor, where I promptly claimed a bench and started shooting. I shot in black & white with a circular polarizer filter to make the clouds as clear and dramatic as possible.

Where else on the WWW am I?

There was something formless and perfectbefore the universe was born.It is serene. Empty.Solitary. Unchanging.Infinite. Eternally present.It is the mother of the universe.For lack of a better name,I call it the Tao.

It flows through all things,inside and outside, and returnsto the origin of all things.

The Tao is great.The universe is great.Earth is great.Man is great.These are the four great powers.
